Chapter 767 There is no farm gate

Looking at the energetic Xiao Wu, who is still wearing new clothes, no need to ask, it must be made by the Zhang family mother and daughter. Baiyunxi looked up and down and nodded.

 “Not bad, very good.”

Xiao Wu adjusted his clothes, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground with his forehead on the ground. "My son has been hanging out for several months, which makes my mother worried."

Looking at Xiao Wu's posture, Bai Yun Xici looked at him carefully. He was indeed a newly minted Juren master. His aura was really different. Look at this expression, look at this posture, especially those deep eyes.

 These are changes visible to the naked eye.

 “Get up and talk, we mother and son don’t have to do this.”

Listening to Baiyunxi's arrangement, Xiao Wu agreed. As soon as he returned to the room to wash up, there was a noise at the door.

"It is a great joy for my son to pass the primary school examination. I am willing to share the joy with my clan members. But don't think about the matter of being affiliated with the fields. My cousin is right. My family has many fields and there is no more for you to be affiliated with. ”

With that said, the old man stood up directly on crutches, and a group of people left noisily. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard someone asking the old patriarch in a low voice.

Listening to Baiyunxi’s explanation, several people nodded.

"That's the truth. If Yunhui knows something underground, it's time to rest in peace."

“What the third uncle said is that if Xiaowu is destined to be the number one scholar, he will definitely pass the exam.”

Looking at the people in the courtyard, Bai Yunxi's scalp tightened, and he ordered his wife and daughter to prepare tea, let a few people sit down in the main room, and asked the second brother to move a few chairs, and prepared them for the older and higher-ranking people. Sit alone.

As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, those people were not happy.

Hearing Bai Yunxi's impolite question, everyone was stunned and subconsciously lowered their heads or turned their heads away.

 When the faces of the two of them turn red, they will not give up.

"You are talented in reading, and these are the results of your hard work. If you are not good at reading, no matter how much you supervise me, it will be useless."

 The old patriarch pondered for a moment and nodded, "In this case, we won't delay you. It's the same as discussing it later."

Baiyunshan was walking at the end. He also heard this sentence and frowned.

“What are you talking about? Even though you can get a tax exemption of 200 acres if you get a good job, my cousin’s own fields are all over the place, so how can there be any extra for you to rely on?”

The two people who spoke were both members of the Bai clan. They held the old man’s arms and urged him anxiously.

"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, why are you all here in such a cold weather?"

Hearing the man's tone, Bai Yunxi squinted his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Wu.

Then he turned to look at that person, his tone was calm,

 Bai Laosan looked at the basket prepared on the table and the yellow paper placed inside.

Bai Laosan is holding the pipe pot, his eyebrows and beard are all white, and his smiling eyes are narrowed into slits, like an old birthday star.

"It's enough to give him two acres, but it doesn't need to be more. After all, we all belong to the same clan. If An Sheng is admitted to the Juren Examination, he can't deny him any glory, right?"

 The provincial tax on two acres of land is almost as much as one person’s rations.

“Yes, Xiao Wu got the result, and his father was most happy to see it.” Bai Yunxi picked up the basket and handed it to the second child who was waiting at the door, asking him to put it on the corridor first and entertain the guests before going to the grave.

"My mother's words are wrong. My son is grateful for your training. Without my mother's encouragement in recent years, my son may not have achieved what he is today. My son is deeply grateful and thanks his mother for his upbringing."

The Bai family heard that Xiao Wu was back, and almost all of them arrived.

 One hundred and seventy-eight. Seventy-five. Two hundred and fifty-five. Two hundred and one

“Old man, why didn’t you mention the farm?”

“That’s right, her sister-in-law must not be modest. Xiao Wu is promising, and we are happy to see her.”

Everyone is the icing on the cake, so naturally she knows what is good to hear, but she can’t take it seriously.

"I have long said that Xiao Wu is destined to be the number one scholar, and sure enough, next spring, it will be time to go to Beijing to take the examination. We are all looking forward to Xiao Wu's success."

“That’s right, our Bai family is as close as one family. This is a great event that honors our ancestors, and we can all take advantage of it.”

Hearing the compliments from everyone, Baiyun Xi looked calm.

“Xiao Wu is still young, so if he knows how to try, he can try to reach out. As for those who don’t win, don’t have too much hope, and don’t put too much pressure on Xiao Wu.”

Baiyunshan said and glared at the two people.

The old patriarch looked at Bai Yunxi, stroking his beard with a smile, "Xiao Wu lived up to his expectations and won the prize. This is a big event for our Bai clan. How can we still sit still? We have to come and take a look."

“Yes, we are all waiting for you to speak.”

"After worshiping your father, choose an auspicious day to worship your ancestors. Just take care of the ancestral hall." As soon as he said this, Xiao Wu pursed his lips and looked at the people in the room, and nodded.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ll go and worship my father first. I’ll discuss ancestor worship with Grandpa later.”

Baiyunxi looked at everyone mockingly,

 “Xiao Wu wants to visit the grave?”

  "If you mention it to me before, then I will ask you, our family was so kind to you in the past, how did you repay it?"

“I don’t want to mention the past. You insist on dragging me to settle the accounts. I don’t mind the settlement…”

“Aunt Bai is so unkind. When Father An Sheng was here, every clan member would be given one or two acres, so we didn’t ask for more..."

Baiyunxi looked at him and spoke softly,

“You are very successful, and my mother is very happy. The lintel of our family has been re-erected with you...Mother has prepared the offerings. You can take a short rest and go to the grave with your second brother and fourth brother to comfort your father’s spirit in heaven.”

The old patriarch glared at them, and when he turned around, he saw Baiyunxi standing not far away, his expression suddenly awkward.

Hearing San Bo’s tone, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly,

"Xiao Wu is also very lucky and has won the title of Juren, which is enough to comfort his father's spirit in heaven. As for participating in the examination, it depends on God's will."

 When they heard that there was going to be a liquidation, everyone's expressions were not very good, and they felt guilty and unwilling.

As Xiao Wu said this, he kowtowed again, and Bai Yunxi's cheeks twitched. He was really a little old-fashioned.

 The old patriarch said, looking at the new Xiao Wu,

"Having said that, don't even think about working in the fields. If Xiao Wu is a member of the imperial examination who is supported by the whole clan, it is absolutely non-negotiable for him to give back to the clan. It is an obligation and responsibility. But my son has never been away from home to study and passed the exam. I have never eaten a grain of rice from the clan, nor asked the clan to raise a penny for education. I welcome you all when you come to congratulate me, and I have tea, water, and melon seeds ready. If you dare to make unreasonable demands, don’t blame me for not caring about the feelings of the clan. .”

As soon as Bai Yunxi said these words, everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at the old patriarch.
